Finally! An operator on UA-cam that actually knows what he's doing. Well done man. Yeah, I know it's an older video but I just saw it. After watching MANY others I find this one particularly refreshing for a change.
In three days... me and one helper, would’ve made that whole house into a pile of good quality material, to reuse ... because now in 2021 ? the two by fours etc. that they were breaking up ? Are over three times as much as they cost ; eight years ago... And that house was built before ring shank nails where commonly used- so it’s easy to dismantle.. And the material is surprisingly straight
When I was young I worked for a company that bid on contracts to demolish buildings. We did most of it by hand, to salvage as much as possible for resale. A lot of people buy reclaimed lumber. They could have salvaged a lot of lumber from that house if they hadn't used heavy equipment.
I see lots of people automatically assuming the operator is a man. The operator most likely is but it would be cool if part of that "don't see this everyday" was a woman popping out of the machine at the end. Sadly there are not many women out there who use forklifts ect.
In the town I work in I see this happen EVERY SINGLE DAY!!! I've seen well over forty houses destroyed and the lot left vacant until the new property owners are ready to build. In this town the house shown in the video would sell for around $300,000 dollars. Yep, that is no lie.
Thats the way we build garages for cars with this sort of insulation. Houses to live in are well insulated here with thick propper walls. That´s why houses there are so cheap and damage so high when there are tornados in the mid west.
Looks like possible flood area? When a big flood went through this area, there were lots of places flooded, they were bought out, torn down and will never be replaced due to flood plain. Looks like new big log cabin style home setting right behind it, built up higher away from high water levels.
It's a given that the power shovel driver does this for a living, but watching it in fast motion shows how good he's gotten at it. It's like watching a human hand methodically tear apart a gingerbread or "toothpick" house.
where I live , they leave up one wall, and its a remodel/addition, and you don't have to pay a huge building permit. About 15 years ago, my Mom wanted to demolish a older 16x24 garage to build a nice 2 car garage but we couldn't find anyone that would demolish something that small, they all wanted to clear a lot, not just a smaller building . So Mom just fixed up the old stucco garage and its still there
califdad4 leaving the wall up has to do with taxes. If you leave part of the old house up and add a huge addition its not considered a new build, its considered a remodel.
@@brianteed7390 not in my State of California, you can have your house burn down and if you rebuild something the same size the taxes remain the same, but if you get carried away and build something huge, the whole place is reappraised and your taxes go up.
@@midwest9757 depends where you live a building permit some years back for a house was over 25k plus you pay for a gas, electric and sewer to the property
Disposable homes. Such poor construction, it isn't even worth saving or rehabilitating. I live in an old home built around 1860 and I love it. It is such solid construction, it will be around long after I'm gone. It will be around in another 100 years, while homes built 40 and 50 years ago are just torn down as junk. I get that they want to put a "nicer" home there. But if this 1860 home were there, it wouldn't be torn down. It IS nice.
Looked like it was built pretty good, with a concret 1st level, but its not a 4000 sq ft home on the river. Its what people do now, they want a new much bigger home. A bunch of the beautiful older homes in Beverly Hills, Ca, owned my celebrities, have been torn down so someone could build something bigger and nicer. Its happening all over, in if in a nice neighborhood
Why would anyone want to live in an old inefficient home when they can have a modern one? Who cares if it will only last 40 to 50 years? That's as long as you will live in it anyway . . .
this is what they should do, if someone wants to demolish a building/ home and there wasn't any existing plans to put another home or building on the land they should leave the house where it is and make nature take care of the house.. it might take 30 to 60 years but most of the materials will rot and feed the soil.
I don't mean to be annoying but, no hard hats? gloves? high visibility gear? supervisor? I sure as hell would want some of that in that working environment...
A great demolition!! Too bad we couldn't have heard the actually sound of it being ripped apart, but that's ok. Another old, worthless piece of shit destroyed is good enough !!
Why not just burn the so called house first and you would have less rubble that's just an excuse for a wooden shack ! A 3 ton mini digger would knock that thing !
To make a counter argument why bother speeding it up at all why can't you just play it normal and allow the sound to actually penetrate since I'm totally blind I don't get much out of these videos

Craneman It wad his first day on the job. A natural. -)
Damn right
That has to be the most stress relieving job you can have.
Thanks for sparring us your opinion of good music 👍
That operator has incredible skills !
Nice job, he kept everything within the foundation, easy to clean-up.
This was fun to watch! The seeded up sequence reminded me of the old Keystone Kops films.
That was awesome looking sped up. Though it is always sad to see a house torn down.
Great video! This crew did a good job.
GOD! That looks like fun!
Thanks for sharing.
You have a good man on that shovel.
Good job on a demo done right.
now this is a job I could do all day long
Very skilled excavator operator, Heck of a job!
They make it look so easy
I loved that house so much
After the rubble was removed they found Jimmy Hoffa.
In three days...
me and one helper,
would’ve made that whole house into a pile of good quality material, to reuse ...
because now in 2021 ?
the two by fours etc. that they were breaking up ? Are over three times as much as they cost ;
eight years ago...
And that house was built before ring shank nails where commonly used- so it’s easy to dismantle..
And the material is surprisingly straight
Give this dude a thumb on his machine, then you’d see what he can really do. Finally a good operator
I did this for a living, so I did see this every day. Just sayin'.
WOW, that excavator operator was like a surgeon...!!!
He/She is very good at their job... *Applause*
Yeah it could be a she. I so many comments that assume the operator is a man.
cool as heck!
That machine has the munchies!!😁

I see this everyday i do this in detroit but its cool to see others try it
A job done well and swiftly is always satisfying.
That guy is an excellent heavy equipment operator

The house sure didn't put up much of a fight.

Dammit, you tore down the wrong house, it was the one next door you were supposed to demolish!

Was admiring how he got most of it inside the walls.
Looks like some kind of strange science fiction movie with a robot carefully dismantling its poor prey!

Building permit is not expensive

Wait! Wait! Hold on a minute! That's the wrong house!
Now where did I put that large dustpan and broom?
Senseless destruction. This needs to be stopped.
I see this everyday in New Orleans, in my suburban neighborhood. Since August 2005 this is a common site. Interesting, I guess.
Lots of wood, thicker of the roof, could be used to do something more. That's what I would do. The roof rafters here where I live are very expensive.
cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wausau so proud of their 1970s cardboard houses they show one being smashed. Hmmmm

Hello hi it’s me, a guy who lives in a house built only a few months ago
WHAT!!?? There was still a TV and stuff in there!!
that was fun time watch
What does the beautiful new home look like?
this is what they should do, if someone wants to demolish a building/ home and there wasn't any existing plans to put another home or building on the land they should leave the house where it is and make nature take care of the house.. it might take 30 to 60 years but most of the materials will rot and feed the soil.
gee i asked them to put in a sky light and this is what i got lol
They say it will take a week to take down the condo I was living in before the fire, this looked like it took an hour or less?
Cool
Look honey......your new kitchen is almost done....
it is easy to destroy than to create...... love that..
This actually DOES happen everyday. Depending on where you live, you may see this a few times a week alone.
When they got to the Orange room I thought the house caught fire
What a shame! Nice house
Kinds of sad - how many people lived and died in that house over the years?
lol that boy can sure run an excavator
NO ! The house across the street!
Hard hats etc? nah, we're tuff...
Is this house infested with something? Such a beautiful structure.
Norbert Siewert nope, owner bought it for the water front property and put up a new home in its place
You forgot your TV 1:33
Literally how its done every day.......
I don't mean to be annoying but, no hard hats? gloves? high visibility gear? supervisor? I sure as hell would want some of that in that working environment...
- man those guy's work fast.
Not bad for a new guy
Why not load it on the truck during demolition?
I WOULD ABSOLUTELY LOVE TO DO THIS JUST ONE TIME!!!!!
And the log cabin survives.
would like to see it in slow motion
Why you could watch "This Old House" show (PBS) which is could have save this house.
Not the big screen TV!!!
Starving children in Africa could have eaten that home.
that house could been saved
Hope it was the right address
You see that now homeless guy running out the back door
In Detroit ?? 3, 4 times a week. Only we use a fire hose to keep the asbestos dust down.
Come to Akron ohio and you can see this everyday
Looks like a Charlie Chaplin movie
+22151995 LOL!!! It does, does-n't it?
Runnin' like piss-ants on a sugar-cube!☺
That's one way to perform an eviction. Should have paid the rent.
It seem like a person which carefully with his hand work.........and 0:39...hhuu...thinks the maschine.....the house moves.....
A great demolition!! Too bad we couldn't have heard the actually sound of it being ripped apart, but that's ok. Another old, worthless piece of shit destroyed is good enough !!
I wander money is not question,no point of recycling, old house reduce to splinters ..............
This guy must really suck as an operator if he needs to chain pieces of steel to get them out instead of just picking them up with his bucket
They should have donated the house to the local fire departments, to have live burns for training.
That is not as easy to do as it should be. Way too much red tape to hassle with.
@@noodengr3three825 Worth every bit of it and the fire department will handle majority of the "hassle" you refer to.
@@1NiCk508 I was quoting a volunteer firefighter that is a friend of mine
Why not just burn the so called house first and you would have less rubble that's just an excuse for a wooden shack ! A 3 ton mini digger would knock that thing !
why dont police use this in a barricaded individual situation🤔🤣
Now throw a match in it and watch it burn
a good reason not to make your wife angry
Waow what a waste... No recycling of anything... Does not work in here !
allconstruction1 actually once down it was sorted into all required categories.
The machine eated the house
Hey honey I know our divorce is final today so I decided to give you the house, well what's left of it......
Kind of looked like the crane was like 'fuck this and this and that and this'
These guys don't believe in wearing hard hats no safety what's so ever
To make a counter argument why bother speeding it up at all why can't you just play it normal and allow the sound to actually penetrate since I'm totally blind I don't get much out of these videos
That house looks like it was made of cardboard.
The genteel demolisher
House made of paper
looked like a cardboard house demo
